Another trick or extra step if you have a hotspot.
Like you said oil and wear but also a bit of ducttape on your foot in the spot of the hotspot.
The duct tape will help prevent injuries to your foot and usually peals off easy at the end of the day. 🤷♂️🤠
Cheers 🍻
Moulding is so darn true. I remember getting a pair of leather boots and holy moly, it was so painful, like I could wear them for 10 minutes then HAD to remove them due to the pain.
But as weeks went on they became some of the comfiest darn boots I've ever worn.
My boots should be done sometime soon! Super excited to finally have my custom bison forefronts
Same. I have custom OTs that should be done soon
Serious question for anyone who thinks they "aren't waterproof":
Are you afraid of going swimming, because your skin will immediately absorb too much water; and you'll drown?
Grease your boots correctly, when the leather needs it; and they are waterproof.
I've been firefighting and farming in Inlanders for almost 2 decades. My feet only get wet, when a canal is deeper than the top of my boots.
Beautiful boots and well worth the money!
The hot spot on the pinky toe can also be your socks. Wear woven socks, with no sewn seams. That seam in regular socks over the top of your toes can be a bitch.
I’ve used a finger smear of Obenaufs LP grease all around my midsoles to help seal em’ up. Good thing I never used oil 😬🤜🏻
Fun video!
I wanted to try the station boot zipper . Are you going to have those available soon ?
My first pair of handmade boots (Spokane made) are coming up on 20 years old. About 3 years after I got them I bought a second pair so if one was in for a resole I’d always have one, I wear them 300+ days a year. Can’t say how many resoles I have done but only now is one pair ready for a rebuild. I added my 3rd pair a month or 2 ago (shadow OT’s) and have since ordered a pair of the honey bison. All soles have always been honey vibram throughout. That original pair was $450 in 2005 so I’d say a lot of bang for the buck. The year prior to that I went through 2 pairs of Danner quary’s that were in the $275 range each.
Another trick for a hot spot is to put rubbing alcohol on the spot, it will relax the leather. But oil it after the spot dries.
Soon as these thorogoods wear out I’m ordering some forefronts or 300s they seem great but hard to tell till I get my hands on them
Where can I get the bear slayer boots?
May 23 is the launch date, we will be releasing more info closer to the date 🙌
@@jkbootsusa thank you
Tim is really hoping to sell some boots and I have this with my little toe I currant breaking 6 PNW boots and my tow has Hugh blister and I have used soaked the foot in Epson Salt 2 times a day before the day and late night and this has helped me a ton and a corn remover and its almost healed and the boots starting to feel great
"it's much lighter" i keep hearing this but what does a size 9 weigh
can i buy a pair of jk boots reused i mean cheaper than new ones
Questions did NOT seem random. Set them up in advance.
Welcome to YT.
Wow, they chose what questions they want to answer?! I never knew they were allowed to do that!!
You think they were gonna blindly search their social media platforms for legitimate questions? LOL
@dusty6570 I don't have any clue what you are talking about or why to me. I have not a single complaint about JK boots or my boots in particular. I'm informing someone these are not waterproof. That's all. Get a life bro. Go cause drama somewhere else
This guy 549 thats still expensive dawg
Then these boots are not for you. They are purpose built for people with specific needs. Or people that appreciate well made footwear. Cheap boots aren't cool and cool boots aren't cheap. Everyone has "their thing", also.
@dusty6570 You get what you pay for and you pay for what you get.
In terms of PNW boots, 549 is on the lower end, you have to look at the big picture. You can't compare these boots to something like Red Wing or any other leather boot that is mass manufactured.
I understand your point but remember, 1st), the materials (leather hides) are not cheap but the quality is so much better than a machine made leather boot. 2nd) Labor Costs. When you have a specialized boot made, you need the right specialized personnel to build them and 3rd) If there is customization (special leather hide, 'steel' toe, etc). Just remember they are handmade from the ground up. My boots are not J.K. but from another boot manufacturer and had them for over 25 years. I have never had one problem, fit my feet like a glove and they are protected for my work unlike the cheap machine made boot. And I can always take them back to get them repaired / rebuilt at the cost of a new cheap pair of boots. So the question then becomes, how much are your feet worth???? Cheap or worth a little extra money for top of the line protection.
@@larryharry7221 I get a pair of boots that have never been more comfortable out of the box nor has taken the abuse like other, lesser costing boots. My regular work boots are $250-300 which is already too rich for some people. I have spent $570 on a JKs and now my current order is $800. Many worst things to spend money on.
